What is Nyx ransomware?

Nyx is a new virus that operates using the ransomware model. This means that it attempts to generate money by encrypting the files of its victims and then demanding money to decrypt them.
Aside from encryption itself, the virus also performs several other actions. It renames the files it encrypts to make it obvious that they were intentionally encrypted and not simply damaged. A unique ID, the hacker’s e-mail, and .NYX file extension get appended to the end of each file name, in that order. It also creates a ransom note called “READ_ME.txt”. You can read the note on the image above, though it is not particularly informative; the victims are merely instructed to contact the hackers for further instructions.
It is worth noting, however, that the hackers are only willing to deal with corporations. Obviously, that doesn’t mean that normal people can’t become victims, as the criminals have no incentive to care about collateral damage. Thankfully, there are certain methods that you can use to remove Nyx ransomware and decrypt .NYX files without dealing with them. Some of these methods are explained in the guide below.
